Description
The Faversham Brewery is home to Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer - and while 1698 is the Brewery's official founding date, there is clear evidence that its heritage pre-dates even this period. Using natural ingredients, such as mineral water from the town’s aquifer and local hops, our brewers produce Kentish ales bursting with character and renowned international lagers. Our brewers blend art and science to produce award-winning beer we want you to enjoy time and time again.

Kupferrote Farbe, fast glasklar. Geringe Schaumentwicklung. Etwas Malz, Traubensaft und Holz in der Nase. Vom Traubensaft bleibt beim Trinken fast nichts. Dafür kommt ein Hauch Leder, Lebkuchen und Eisen hinzu. Bitter / malziger Nachgeschmack. Recht süffig, aber mit genügend Substanz und Tiefe. Ist OK.
